| Additional information |
Carlos Lopes won the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic marathon at age 37, making him the oldest man to win that event in Olympic history — a record that still stands. Portugal had never previously won an Olympic gold medal in athletics. The 7½ Euro denomination is a recurring INCM conceit, chosen specifically to sit outside normal circulation and drive collector demand rather than serve any transactional function.
